Good evening parents and students,

What lovely weather we had today!!
It was great to see students playing outside and participating in Track and Field.

 **Spelling Bee information and lists have been sent home. Please have students practice with the provided lists.**

UOI:Government 
 Today students worked in their groups for the majority of their day. The flags are starting to look great and the slides are coming together nicely. It was great to see students delegating tasks to ensure that they get things done in time.

For our UOI summative presentations, parents are welcome to attend at 2pm on May 3rd. Actual presentations will begin at 2:20pm however parents are welcome to arrive at 2:00pm and take a look/ask questions at the display tables. After the presentations and voting, students are allowed to leave with their parents.

Math:
 Today we looked at relating distance, average speed, and time. Students quickly noticed that creating input/output machines/tables will help us find answers. We also had a quick review about distance and time conversions to assist the students in their homework.
Tomorrow we will be starting our review for this pattern math unit. The quiz will be Monday, May 7th.
